Re: [CFCDev] MVC File upload

[Brian Kotek]

No. I understand how confusing some of these things can be, but in this case I think some additional learning and research is in order. A Data Access Object (DAO) is a very specific kind of object that is part of a design pattern also called "Data Access Object". A DAO is specifically for abstracting database interactions. Handling a file upload is not part of the responsibility of a DAO. For more detail on the DAO pattern, you can Google around, but here is a starting point: http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/DataAccessObject.html

I would probably create a FileManager or even a FileUploadManager if the need is very specific, and have this object encapsulate all behavior related to handling a file upload.

Hope that helps! This stuff takes a good long time to wrap your head around (at least it took/is still taking me a long time).

I am very new to the MVC process for web development.  How would I set up a file upload that follows the MVC model?  Should I create a Data Access Object that does cffile operations?  Thanks for your help!
